Parking and Transportation Services completed the Transportation Demand Management Master Plan update in September 2023. This document will serve as the framework for the evolution of transportation on campus in the next 10 years and has been submitted to the Master Plan Committee to be considered in the 2024 CSU Master Plan update. This builds on the 2014 Parking and Transportation Master Plan, which determined parking supply ratios and prioritized certain parking and mobility goals for the university. The new plan features mode-specific targets to help CSU achieve its institutional goal of carbon neutrality as detailed in the Climate Action Plan.

Recommendations made by the plan focus on improving convenience, quality, and equity in the university transportation network. Goals set forth by the plan include investing in safe and reliable infrastructure, addressing transit frequency and reliability, and optimizing peak parking lot utilization. Additionally, the plan provides a framework to help CSU achieve a more balanced transportation mode split that will help the university meet climate action goals, improve safety, and ensure the campus is accessible.
